Reviews of shows at London theatres

A thought-provoking idea reflected in an inspired ending, coupled with authentic playing and fine music justify a visit, but the play as a whole feels rather thin on detail.

Piling slapstick buffoonery on top of an absurdly farcical story proves merely wearisomely ill-conceived and comedically unsatisfying.

A glitzy, slick endeavour which embodies enough comedy to make for a fun and appealingly entertaining evening.

Well-cast and earnestly acted, this is a sombre but highly watchable and thought-provoking drama offering, primarily, an unusual perspective on the wider impact of mental illness.

Daniel Winder's fun and compelling adaptation of this terrific fairy tale gets a wonderfully magical treatment from director Amy Draper, with gusto performances from a fine cast.
